Chapter 914 A Sneak Attack


    Crystal''s POV:


    Rufus struck me suddenly, leaving me with no time to react. Seeing that I almost fell down, his


    conscience seemed to kick in and he caught me in time.


    But as soon as I heaved a sigh of relief, he tossed me to the ground again.


    Was he serious?


    I was furious. I rubbed my aching back and nearly cursed out.


    But mymon sense held me back. This man was now the lycan king. I would have to show him


    some respect.


    But this thought aggrieved me. I never had to think this much before telling him off before.


    "Get to your feet. You''re a dignified Alpha, but your reaction time is slower than a new student''s at


    the military school."


    His voice was icy, and no emotion was visible in his eyes when he stared at me, as if I was good for


    nothing. I was truly afraid that he would blurt out, "Your Alpha appointment was bought with money,


    right?"


    I pursed my lips and stood up unhappily. I was so enraged that I wanted to argue with him.


    "Why are you quiet? Did I say something wrong? You''re the Alpha of your pack. How could you be


    knocked down so easily? If I were a vampire, I would have taken your life already,"


    Rufus reprimanded me harshly, leaving me unable to meet his eyes.


    As my helpless gaze remained fixed on my toes, I inwardly cried out that I was being wronged.


    When had I ever been on guard against him?


    Normally, no one put up their guard against their close friends or loved ones. As my mind shed


    back to the past, I remembered how Rufus wanted to be around me all the time. If I ever disyed


    indifference or defensiveness toward him, he would have definitely felt hurt and then lost his temper.

    Only a few years had passed, but now he wanted me to be wary of him.


    However, his attitude was understandable because he had lost his memory.


    It seemed like once a person lost their memory, even their character underwent a significant


    transformation.


    And he moved so quickly. I was unable to defeat him five years ago. Half a decadeter, his


    strength had increased drastically. If he wanted to test me, how could I match up to him as his


    opponent?


    The more I considered this, the angrier I became. But I had to clench my jaw and ept his


    criticism. "I''m sorry. I just had a long journey. I''m tired and my reflexes were slow."


    "That''s just an excuse. Can you im to be tired when you''re marching on the battlefield?" Rufus


    snapped frostily.


    I kept my mouth shut. I was worried that if I kept talking, I would annoy this man even more. Rufus


    scoffed coldly and gave me a lecture on some basics about being an Alpha. He also instructed me


    to go to the training ground while I was here.


    When I heard this, I nearly cked out. I, as a dignified Alpha, would have to undergo training with


    the rookies of the military school?


    It wasn''t really about if I was made aughing stock or not. This was about Rufus. What angered


    me was that his attitude was so horrible! While I was contemting how to refuse him, my


    subordinate rushed in, his face shining with panic. When he spotted Rufus, he was nonplussed and


    stopped.


    Rufus shot me a final look and left after telling me to rest well.


    Once he was gone, both my man and I sagged with relief.


    If he had continued to stay here, I was afraid I would have lost my self-control and fought him.


    I pinned my gaze to my subordinate and asked, "Why are you so agitated?"


    He answered, "Beryl and Arron are missing!"


    "What?" I was shocked and thought I''d heard it wrong.


    "As soon as our convoy left, both the kids disappeared from the camp. The people from the camp


    tried to call you, but they couldn''t get in touch. They had no choice but to keep calling around till


    they finally got a hold of us," my subordinate blurted out anxiously.
